Arazan Plan Arazan is on course to return to action in the Galileo Futurity Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday week. The well-regarded son of Anabaa has not been seen since making a winning debut in a seven-furlong maiden at Leopardstown in late May and is as low as 20-1 in places for the Stan James 2000 Guineas. Trainer John Oxx told At The Races: "He's horse that wouldn't have run too often anyway, but he was a little bit sore on his shins not long after that so we decided to give him a bit more time, then he had a dirty nose in June and that held us up a little bit with him." He added: "Pretty early on we made up our minds we would wait for the Futurity. He's coming along nicely enough for that. "He's a horse that this year would like a bit of soft ground. He's quite a heavy blocky horse and you wouldn't like to knock him about on firm ground. "We are getting the weather for him at the moment. He's done plenty of work on grass and we hope to have him ready for Saturday week. "He had shown us a bit in his work before he ran so I wasn't surprised when he won. He's a fine horse. He's a half-brother to Azamour, he's by Anabaa and he has a lot going for him but there's nothing like the racecourse for putting them to the test. "We like him, we'll just have to see what happens and hope that he's competitive next week," Oxx added.
